School Policy

The Sister Georgine School is a non-profit charitable and educational corporation organized under the N.J.S.A. 15A:1‑1 et seq. for the primary purpose of educating pupils with educational disabilities.

The School was founded under the auspices of The Most Rev. George Ahr, Bishop of Trenton, and at the direction of The Reverend Thomas Frain, the Diocesan Superintendent of Schools.  It was known as the Diocesan Learning Center.  In 1974, after the untimely death of Sister Georgine, the Learning Center was renamed the SISTER GEORGINE LEARNING CENTER FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN.  The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia administer the school with a dedicated and supportive lay faculty.  It was incorporated in 1984.  The president of the Corporation is the Bishop of Trenton.  The school is operated under the auspices of the Diocese of Trenton and is affiliated with the Office of Catholic Education.

The program of the School is governed by a Board of Trustees in accord with N.J.S.A. 15A:1‑1 et seq. and its Bylaws.

The program is approved by the New Jersey State Department of Education.

Direct services are funded through tuition and through contributions received from private sources and business organizations.

In 1993 the name of the school was changed to Sister Georgine School.
